FLORIDA - Record turnout on the first day of early voting went down without a hitch in the state... For the most part.

In Leon County, two vote counting machines were replaced after poll workers discovered the machines weren't reading some ballots.

The ballots were locked away and tabulated on new machines after the polls closed.

Secretary of State Kurt Browning says the problems were minor and handled by county supervisors.

Kurt Browning/Secretary of State
"There's no machine and no voting systems issues. If anything it was the check in equipment that they were using were having some communications issues, online issues. We got no reports yesterday of voting systems issues, which was a good thing."

Secretary Browning believes Florida is ready for the record turn out expected on November 4th.
